I haven't read the link yet, but I note that I have long understood that predestination does not affect freewill in the slightest. While some program effecting this simulation or Creator God may have omniscient foreknowledge of my actions, I sure as hell don't, and make my decisions freely based on my experiences and understanding. I may not be ineffable to greater minds than mine, but I am to me, and thus my experience of my consciousness is that I am entirely free to undertake what I will at my sole option.
LOL at 'Where there are girls there are cats'. God bless 'em.
Thanks!

You're ahead of me. I don't think I had come across that argument before. But now I'm wondering how that line of reasoning applies to the question of whether AI systems have free will.
lol. Yeah, I had to be careful with my phrasing on that one. Didn't want to launch a SteemStorm. ; -)
I reckon as far as AI is concerned it has freewill. Not even close to convinced AI presently is able to wrassle with such questions or potential of self-awareness requisite to the question.
It will though.
As to the invasive species issue, there are far too many ways that phrasing can go wrong.
